Tin Mountain Sold.

AS we go to press the gratifying news
of the sale Of the above mine reaches
this Office. The consideration was
$4,000 cash. H.. w. Fowler, ofChicago,
who arrived in this city on Thursday,
accompanied by his wife and A. L.
Sivyer, who represents a Chicago syndi-
cate, was the purchaser.
The parties to the sale are Or. D. w.
Flick, of Rapid, j. l.. Rider and VIM.
Nevin, of Four Mile, and Mr.. Fordice of
Illinois.
The sale has created much enthusi.
asm in this place, as it is said that ex-
tensive operations will be inaugurated
at once upon the mine, and that machin-
cry will be ordered at once.
We have only space to say that this
sale is the first move toward the final
elimination Of the Custer tin boom,
which the CHRONICLE has been so per-
sistently predicting. The world moves.

The Celebration.

That Custer will celebrate the coming
Fourth of July in q n never be-
fore approached in this city is now
assured.
At a meeting Of the citizens held at
the court house on Tuesday evening,
much enthusiasm was manifested, and
a general desire expressed in favor of
the appropriate observance Of the day.
The following committees were APP
pointed.
Arrangements-E. II. Flynn, B. r.
Wood, S. n. Fitch.
Programmes. X. Shankland, A. L.
Feay, II. V. Garlock.
Finance-Paul Kleemann, f. o. Bur-
ton, Il. Lewis.
A subscription paper was put in cir
culation on the day following, and be-
tween 5000 and $500 was subscribed
within a few hours, which sun will
doubtless be largely increased during
the next few days.
Further particulars will be given in
the CHRONICLE in due time.

How to Get TheraP

Recognizing the growing importance
of Custer City, Hermosa seeks to make
that place the railroad starting point for
the Tin City of the Hills, instead OF
Buffalo Gap, which thus far has been
the point selected. The following taken
from a late Pilot would indicate that no
special effort was being made by the
place, but that hotel accommodation was
the only attraction, which would appear
a trile transparent to an average adult
We quote the ffippant extract:
Travelling men are learning Of the
excellent Accommodations that Hermosa
otfers-both in hotels and l%ivery-and
now make it a point to 90 from here ia
Custer, instead Of via Buffalo Gap"

No better growing weather has ever
been experienced in this country than
that which has prevailed in this locality
during the past week. Rain and sun,
shine expresses its character, changing
from one to the other at short intervals,
which has had the effect of causing a
more rapid growth of vegetation than
was ever known in this section. Grasses
are far in advance of what they were in
July last year, and the rapidly growing
crops give promise ofan abundant yield
Our pen is inadequate and by far toe
feeble to fairly describe Clusters sur.
roundings at this juncture. We will
venture to say, however, to those who
are seeking a mundane paradise, this
place offers inducements which are not
duplicated in any other locality from
fairy French Greek to the romantic
Rhine.

The Hot Springs Star very reasonably
concludes that the B. & NJ. Railroad
will touch Hot Springs and Custer,
rather than parallel the Elkhorn on the
east side of the Hills. Regarding the
Hot Springs and Custer route the Star
says: "a natural avenue penetrates
this course through an unequaled farm
and stock country as well as minerals.
The immense lodges of Jasper and
marble, the inexhaustible beds Of gyp-
sum, connected on the north by Custer
with her tin and mica gold and silver
mines, are a source of attraction that
are equal to any other portion Of the
Hills"

The Outlook.

While the times are ~undeniably dull,
and money scarce, there is nevertheless
a ~livelier hope of future prosperity at
this juncture than has ever before been
felt in this community. The prevailing
dizziness, which under ordinary circum.
stances would have a very decided
tendency to dishearten the people Of
this community, and induce a feeling of
uneasiness and unrest in their minds, is
without discouraging effects. Our hope
is sufficient to meet the e~xigencies of
the hour, and true to our past record,
we will stay with the country as long as
we can muster sufficient hope upon
which to hang our hats. The following
from the Douglas Advertiser We append
as an appropriate addendum:
"Hope deferred maketh the heart sick.
Better, however, have a deferred hope
than nom at all. In these times OF
business depression in the west there is
something of satisfaction in knowing
that it is merely a temporary phenomen-
on, and that in the near future there
must be an improvement. The condi-
ton of western towns is infinitely better
in this respect than is that of ordinary
eastern towns. The life of the west lies
in the future. Its are largely
undeveloped, its wealth yet to be I'M
earthed. This is especially true of the
rocky mountain region. 1t has a great
future before it. That the tide of immi.
grafton is bound to move on westward
from Nebraska. Kansas and Dakota, is a
fact which in the face of the experience
of the past twenty years can not we'll be
disputed"

The latest discovery at Buffalo Gap is
a Venitian red mine. This article is
said to be very useful as a paint where
the particular color to be displayed is
immaterial, if it is only red. Some
towns have been very successfully paint
ed red without the aid of this article.
This Gap product will probably find a
ready market in Rapid, where it may
be judiciously utilized in re-touching
the fair complicated brick common to
that locality.

The only way to advertise this coun-
try as it should be, and secure the
migration we desire, is for everyone
interested to assist. Send letters, cir
culars and papers to friends and &C
quaintances. Some people who are
wondering and complaining because
there is not a grand rush to these parts
have perhaps never paid even a cent of
postage toward advertising the advant-
ages that this section offers. There is
no mistake about this being a particu-
larly attractive spot, but we must
inform the eastern people of the fact.
Sitting around and growing about times
being dull, and c~ursing the country
because people are not focking in here
by the thousands is certainly simple.
Help advertise it and it will look better.
